Percent change in biomass consumed by fire for years 2050-2099 versus 1950-1999 simulated using the MC1 model with CSIRO Mk3.0 climate projections under the B1 anthropogenic emission scenario at a half degree spatial grain over the globe.

Dataset was used in a scientifically peer-reviewed publication
Description:

This is aggregated results from a run of the MC1 model (MC1_GLOBAL version). The GCM data were downscaled to a half degree grid resolution using an anomaly approach. The baseline historical data was based on CRU TS 2.0 climate.  For this map percent change was calculated as:

(((Future – Historical)/Historical)*100)

Where Future is the average value for 2050-2099 and Historical is the average value for 1950-1999.
